Possible TLS issues; default port; expand default server list #20

Hey there. Cool to see this app exist; wanted to try it with https://sharkchat.com/channels/ipv6. The operator is a co-mod on r/ipv6, and they told me the servers are set up with TLS 1.3 with Let's Encrypt. Finally got it to work if I connected via port 6697, told it to ignore SSL errors, and quit+restarted the program. Since the default ports per https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7194 are 6667 and 6697 respectively, I think those can be filled in whenever you toggle secure or not. Otherwise, if you test this and also get an issue, there's probably a library that needs to be updated for TLS 1.3 support.

Another thing to note. When I first fired up the app, there was a default server list that doesn't make it immediately clear you can use your own. There also seems to be a huge stink going on about Freenode right now; https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/nmzv2f/psa_many_projects_have_moved_their_irc_presence/ mentions libera.chat as one of those; I think you already had OFTC in the list.

Hope all is well. Thank you again!
